Replacing Xfinity (Comcast) modem

Today I made some changes to my Xfinity (Comcast) account. I've been with them for many years and have been paying them $15 a month to rent their modem due to my inertia in not installing my own modem. With the change in my internet speed from 300 to 500 down (100 up with each) they are now going to...

This year I obviously set and all-time record by doing the first one a few weeks ago.

I looked at value funds really hard and couldn't bring myself to believe in them. I think for a value fund to continuously work it would have to be a highly active fund. From what I could remember, all of the historical out performance is based on indexes that were not actual funds during the out p...
